He Just Smiled And Gave Me A Vegemite Sandwich

I find Marmite to be the superior product in most ways and simply becuase it's not so sweet, but this news gives me little pleasure:

US bans VegemiteTHE United States has slapped a ban on Vegemite, outraging Australian expatriates there.

The bizarre crackdown was prompted because Vegemite contains folate, which in the US can be added only to breads and cereals. Expatriates say that enforcement of the ban has been stepped up recently and is ruining lifelong traditions of having Vegemite on toast for breakfast.
